THE LATE RAILROAD HORROR.
Hundred and Fourteen Persons In
jGred Resides Those Killed.
rRr telnrranh IN tho Dlannfchl

BosToN, March 1j.-It is now known
that one hundred and fourteen persons
we've injured in the railroad accident
Yesterday. This does not include those
killed. The injured at the Massachu-
sets general hospital are reported by
the physicians to-day as being in com
Portable condition. The surgeons are
confident that all will recover. Owing
to the duplication and misspelling of
names it is now believed the reports of
the number Of persons killed has been
considerably overestimated. Upto noon
to-day DR.. Draper had signed twenty
one death-certifcates and DR.. Harris
three, making the entire death-total up
to noon twenty-four.
The wreck is a more appalling sight
than the recent ruins at WhiteRiver
junction and Deerfeld, and this points
strongly to the fact that the train was
running mt speed of fully twenty-five
miles an hour The forward cars, which
lie on the embankment and in the road
way, remain in the same position as
when they fell. There were undoubt-
edly nine cars in the train, as the tin
tops Of nine are to be found, but the
remains of two of the cars are In such
a state of demolition that it is impossi-
BILE to DISCERN whether they were two
cars or one. This was caused by the
fall down the embankment, and con-
sequently a rumor has prevailed that
there were but eight cars in the train.
Several of the stoves of the cars have
been removed, and III every case the
iron rods which serve to hold them in
position have been found to be secure,
while not q stoye-door was burst open,
although one stove Was badly broken.
Professor Vose, of the Institute of
Technology, one of the most competent
bridge engineers in New England, IN
an interview says 81 was at the scene
of the accident all day yesterday, to-
gether with u number of members of
the Massachusetts, Scientific Society
and institute students. examining the
bridge, or rather pieces thereof, and
don't fnow the exact cause of the acct
dent. i would not dare to venture
an opinion. / can only say that
l have examined pieces OF the iron,
and have an idea that some was defec-
tive. However, don't wish to con-
denim any one until the truth is known.
The railroad officials have given per-
mission TO bring into the city all the
pieces OF the bridge, an examination of
which, 1 think, viii give some light on
the cause of the disaster, and am now
going to find out, if possible, just what
the cause of the disaster was. >"
Professor Swain, also of the Insti-
tute, who made an examination of the
wrecked bridge, discovered what he
considers TO have been the cause Of the
accident. He thinks there were Sc
rious defects in some portions of the
bridge, not only in the material used,
but m the manner of construction.

Killed His Best Friend.
by telegraph 70 the Dispatch. ]

LOUISVILLE. March ia special to
the COurier-.Journdi from Morehead,
KY, says Another of Morehead's citi-
zens breathed his last this morning at
the hands Of his best friend. j. L.
Witcher, formerly conductor on the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway, was
talking with his friend, John Trumbo,
and playfully remarked: 81 could cut
your throat, Trumbo, were you and l
TO get into a fight, before you could
draw your pistol to save your life. "
WELL" said Trumbo, 81 will Just
show you that you couldn't" Thus
saying, he pulled his pistol, pointing it
at Witcher, when the deadly weapon
went of, and Witcher fell to the floor.
These men entertained not the least
malice toward each other, and never
had any difficulty.

Wholesale POISONING.
a whole Family Fail victims TO
vOOdoo Doctors Anger.
[By telegraph to the Dispatch.


CHICAGO, March 15.-The Tjmcs's
special from Milledgeville, Ga, says:
Mr.. Spights, who lives near Browns
crossing, came to town yesterday and
reported that the entire family of John
Harris (colored), consisting of himself,
wife, and nine children, were poisoned
on the plantation of Mrs. j. NJ. Morris
last Friday. The poison acted slowly,
and medical attendance was not sum
moned until Sunday evening BY that
time one of the family was past hope
and the. others in very critical condi-
ton. Every member of the family
was, when found by DR.. Harde-
man, in semi-unconscious state,
from which they have not yet recoy-
cred. One of the children died Sunday
night. The verdict of the coroner's
Jury was tina. the child came to its
death from poison at the hands of some
unknown person or persons. Suspicion
rests upon a voodoo doctor in the neigh
borhood, and is grounded upon the fact
that he makes the treatment of poison
a hobby and the suspicion is strength
ened by the fact that the poisoned
family incurred his anger by ridiculing
his powers. 1t is supposed he placed
the POISON in the meal-bag by slipping
il through a crack in the Lighthouse.
Several articles Of food and the child's
stomach have been brought to the city
and will be thoroughly examined ~ ~
experts. The mother and two other
children are almost certain to die, while
the fate Of all is very uncertain.
